Zapping a wand of wishing is the only guaranteed source of wishes.
This wand is unusual because it can only be recharged once[1]. It always explodes if you try to recharge it a second time; other wands have a chance to be recharged multiple times without exploding. It is not possible to wish for more wishes, so if you wish for another wand of wishing, the second wand will come cancelled, which is useless.
Thus your first wish from this wand should be a source of charging, if you do not already have one. For example, if you have Neutral alignment and are not a Tourist, you might wish for the quest artifact "Platinum Yendorian Express Card" (but be careful -- non-Tourists cannot use the Platinum Yendorian Express Card for blessed charging). Otherwise, you might wish for "2 blessed scrolls of charging". Alternatively, if you've identified the scroll of charging, a magic marker to write another would be a more efficient wish.
Then, extract the maximum number of wishes as follows:
- Zap the wand until it reaches (0:0).
- Blessed-recharge the wand.
- Zap the wand until it reaches (1:0).
- Zap the wand repeatedly to wrest the last charge.
One wand of wishing is always located inside a chest inside the Castle.
